I found the Walmart Equate brand to be pretty sensitive. It showed a very,very faint (but not absolutely certain -- "is it my imagination?") line about 12 days after ovulation with mid-day urine, and an unequivocal line 14 days after ovulation with first morning urine (same pregnancy -- did the 2nd test to be sure after I realized I didn't ovulate til day 18). I think it was about $10 for the 2 test pack.

I personally (as just a layperson) think it's a good idea for all women who could become pregnant to take a decent multi-vitamin with adequate iron and folic acid. That way you're covered if a "surprise" happens and you don't realize it for a while. OTC Prenatals aren't going to hurt even if you're not pregnant.

Good luck. I hope things turn out the way you want!!
